School nurses must continuously update their knowledge and skills to address the evolving health and wellbeing needs of children and young people. Rising issues such as obesity, mental health problems, emerging issues such as vaping, and worries about gender are increasing in prevalence, while the safeguarding of children remains a priority. However, with reduced service capacity and increasing demands, finding time for professional development is a challenge. Podcasts are emerging as a flexible and cost-effective tool for learning. To support school nurses, a series of podcasts were developed covering these critical topics. These podcasts, produced by school nurses for school nurses, offer insights into current challenges and promote best practices, ensuring nurses are better equipped to fulfil their public health roles in prevention, promotion, and protection. This article discusses the development, reception, and impact of these podcasts as an accessible medium for continuous professional learning.
